May Cover Revealed – Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

The original Deus Ex is one of the most critically acclaimed shooter/RPG hybrids of all-time. In 2011, Eidos-Montreal resurrected the dormant franchise with Human Revolution, giving the series an updated look while remaining true to the player choice-driven gameplay. Eidos-Montreal knew its game wasn’t perfect, and has worked to improve the series' combat systems and boss encounters for the latest entry in the series – Mankind Divided.

Set in 2029, two years after the events of Human Revolution, Adam Jensen returns and joins forces with an Interpol-funded task force aiming to hunt down and capture augmented terrorists in a world that now hates and fears transhumans. Jensen has a new suite of augmentations that allow him to cleverly navigate stealth, combat, and social interactions, but how Jensen chooses to solve every problem is entirely up to you.

At the end of Human Revolution, the Illuminati caused every transhuman to go into a fight-or-flight response and attack anyone near them. In the next issue of Game Informer, you can find out how this event caused humanity to hate and fear those with augmentations. We spent two days in Eidos-Montreal's studio, talking with the team and learning about how they build a realistic future. We go in depth on some of Jensen's new augmentations that help improve the stealth and combat systems, such as the ability to remote hack electronic objects, fire off his nano blade from a distance, and surround himself with a nearly indestructible nanoshield. We also got some great examples on how the game will be as open ended as ever, allowing players to carve their own path through the world. You can only get these details in the latest issue of Game Informer.

So what this is saying is that the choice you make for the end of Human Revolution doesn't matter because we're just picking the ending that works best for us, and Adam is going to have the whole Samus thing going on where he loses all of his abilities for the new game.
Don't get me wrong, I'm really looking forward to this, but it should not have been Adam Jensen as the protagonist.

Aw Yeah! Human Revolution was one of my favorite games of last gen. Glad to see we're getting more.
So this was what Square was teasing. I ignored it thinking it would be a FF game or something, forgetting they own Deus Ex.

Makes the reveal stream kind of pointless huh? XD. But alas, really freaking excited for this, Human Revolution was my first real experiences with Deus Ex and was an excellent game to boot. Man I hope it comes out this year. Not getting my hopes up, but 2015 needs a boost after all the delays to 2016.
